Guitarists are a strange breed. They love modifications just as long as nothing actually changes. Never change a winning team is their approach: the favourite

guitar, the good old amp and that particular speaker cabinet. The final link in the chain is the defining resonating body to capture the magical sound.

Electric guitarists looking for the perfect way to mike up for live or for recording now have one of the simplest and most workable solutions available -

which also sets new standards in sound quality. Brought together in a compact, lightweight metal box are 16 legendary speaker cabinets. Drawing on

30 years of both stage and studio experience, I have put together a collection of my own. Recorded with the best microphones and digitally converted

using today´s cutting-edge Convolution Technologie, locking down every detail. But why conserve the sounds digitally? Simply because analogue

equipment cannot capture all the acoustic complexities and nuances the speakers produce. Convolution Technologie on the other hand is able to

reproduce the complete array of tones and the uniqueness of each cabinet down to the last detail.

Virtual Speaker-Cabinet Collection:Just pick your favourite cab, fine-tune the sound with the Mic-Position controller and away you go! 16 classic,

world-renowned cabs are available in the BluBox: 5 legendary Marshall® cabs with vintages from 1965 and

1980 but also the glorious, cult cabinets from Vox®, Mesa-Boogie® and Fender®. Of course, I have also

included the BluGuitar ® NANOCAB™ and FATCAB™ which have been rapturously received in music world

for their huge sound.

The BluBOX™ is the ideal partner for all eventualities. Whether on stage or in the studio - wherever you

need striking sounds of the highest quality miked up or recorded. All this works with the BluBox directly and

even without a speaker cabinet!

BluBOX™ - The new Speaker Emulation with the most legendary cabinet / microphone combinations of the past 50 years music history, captured for the

discerning professional. Great sounds, simple use, small package! The Sound of Tone Innovation.

- perfect sound on tap for all recordings, monitors, PA’s and InEar.You want to have your specific sound at your fingertips wherever you might be without any complications and experiments? Well that´s precisely why I put together

the 16 best legendary cabinet / microphone combinations from 50 years of music history and packed them in the BluBOX™. You can create any kind of music from

Country to Metal with it. Gone are the days of having to set up and organise. Just a flick of the wrist and it´s all there - in the studio or on stage.

GreAt tONe - NO CONeBluBOX

- Record and enjoy playing without cabThe cabinet simulations are authentic and convincing. But the level of sound is not the only aspect; using quality monitoring they feel so good that you can actually do

without a speaker cabinet altogether. The BluBOX™ is a truly versatile tool and good for all you need.

BluBOX™

- Silent recording on highest levelCreativity has no sense of time. You want to play and drive your amp hard at night? With BluBOX™ this is not a problem, without even upsetting the neighbours.

Using the BluBOX™ with the AMP1™ it´s like falling off a log; the AMP1™ ́ s speaker output can be connected to the BluBOX™ needing no load. All classic tube amps

require load to function properly. There are now many load boxes available on the market to accommodate every type of amp for silent recording. But with BluBOX™

and AMP1™, you are already there.

You can achieve the best recording sounds without elaborate microphone solutions by

simply looping the BluBOX™ between your amp and speaker. The process negates the

effects of the microphone and the stand but also insulates the signal from crosstalk and

vibrational disturbance. The result is simply your own pure and constant sound.

The BluBOX™ is simply connected to the mixing desk as a microphone would with its

microphone lead. As with a true microphone the BluBOX™ has an integrated transformer,

effectively wiping out undesired hum.

NO Amp ?!!

While the BluBOX™ was actually designed to work with guitar amps it can also produce

fantastic results with pedals or preamps straight into the mixing desk.

Simply connect the last pedal from your pedal board or the Line Out of your preamp to the

LINE INPUT of the BluBOX™ and give the amp a miss. A slimline solution par excellence!

SILENT RECORDING:

Finally a solution to record your favorite tube amp at full drive without disturbing all

around you? Instead of looping the BluBOX™ between your amp and speaker, simply

connect it to a load-box. The load-box makes no noise, thermally transforms the power

output of your amp and ensures it takes no harm in the process. Truly perfect for those

nocturnal recording sessions.
